Recenzii
'To
both philosophers
of
narrative
identity
and devotees
of
the
cult
of
self-fulfillment,
nothing
is
as
counter-intuitive
as
martyrdom.
Jensen
here
turns
conventional
wisdom
on
its
head,
arguing
that
martyrdom
is
not
a
surrendering
(or
making)
of
one's
identity
but
an
active
reception
of
one's
being
in
Christ.
The
unexamined
life
may
not
be
worth
living
(Socrates),
but
the
untested
Christian
life
is
a
veritable
contradiction
in
terms.
In
a
secular
age
of
victims
and
victors,
where
many
feel
the
burden
of
self-invention
while
others
await
Godot,
Jensen
urges
Christians
to
communicate
their
faith
in
divine
providence
by
resisting
the
temptation
to
follow
ways
that
lead
to
worldly
security,
power,
and
status,
and
instead
follow
the
way
of
Jesus
Christ.
Martyrdom
-
bearing
witness
to
the
gospel
-
is
a
costly
communicative
act
that
is
not
easily
dismissed,
or
refuted.
This
is
a
beautifully
conceived
and
practically
challenging
work
from
which
readers
will
not
quickly
recover.'

'This rich and intricate book by Michael Jenson deserves a wider audience than I fear it may attract. Clearly the outworking of an impressive doctoral thesis... it will reward the careful reader with challenging insights into what it means to be a Christian... Erudite and compelling, Jensen has written a tour-de-force on the nature of the Christian self... Any reader should be prepared to wrestle with themselves.'
Jensen's book is a significant contribution to the recent theological literature on Christian martyrdom. Through his interpretation of scripture (the extent to which he scripturally argues for a martyrial vision of Christian selfhood is most impressive), a theological reading of the early Christian martyriological tradition, and his ingenious use and insightful reading of Eliot's play, Jensen successfully retrieves the discourse of martyrdom for an account of Christian selfhood.
'...The book is an important reminder that martyrdom is not a political weapon but is a critical component of the Christian tradition.'-Theological Studies
'Displaying extraordinary literary sensibilities, Jensen illumines how martyrs help us better understand why and how our lives as Christians require the embodiment of narrative. His analysis of Murder in the Cathedral should be required reading for all Christians.' - Stanley Hauerwas, Duke Divinity School, Durham, NC, USA
'A remarkable first book from an Australian scholar of great promise, offering a compelling account of the relation of Christian identity and martyrdom.' - Alister McGrath, Centre for Theology, Religion and Culture, King's College, London, UK
If we are looking for a plausible theological thesis, plausibly theologicallyargued, then we should not be disappointed. Eliot was right to identify the temptationswhich he did; Jensen is right to suppose that martyrdom is both an authenticoutward expression of Christian selfhood and a telling revelation of inner Christian selfhood.Further, this selfhood is commendable in and to a world that does not take forgranted the integrity of Christian self-understanding. What the author says is well said andneither shallow, on the one hand, nor pretentious, on the other.
The way in which Jensen brings together philosophers, theologians, novelists and playwrights to explore the self in relation to martyrdom is lucid, engaging and highly stimulating.

What does Christian martyrdom tell us about being a self? This title argues that Christian martyrdom provides a coherent and compelling narration of the self in terms of the narrative of the life and death of Jesus Christ. It shows that Christian discipleship is not the path of establishing oneself securely.
